In my defense

I had my Master's thesis defense today and everything went well.  All of the professors in our unit were there and, dare I say it, it was kind of fun.  When it was all over they said I could stick around to wait and hear the verdict.  Strangely, I wasn't very nervous so the wait wasn't so bad.  They came out to tell me I passed!  I will graduate on Saturday.

There were definitely times soon after Ellis Rose was born when I had some "What on earth was I thinking" moments.  But we made it through with the help of my family who babysat when I was in class or working on papers.

It is kind of neat to think that Ellis Rose attended all of my classes with me last summer and fall and now she'll be attending graduation too!
